60 Answers
Poll from Sky News app so no link :
Poll indicates which Tory MPs have most support among public
Also featured in the Opinium polling for Sky News were figures on the popularity of the various leadership contenders if Boris Johnson were to be forced out.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak, by far the most well known of the options presented to respondents, had the most support by some distance.
Rishi Sunak-
good leader: 46% bad leader: 33% (net +13%)
Sajid Javid-
35% 42% (-7%)
Jeremy Hunt-
28% 43% (-16%)
Liz Truss-
22% 40% (-18%)
Michael Gove-
24% 51% (-27%)
Priti Patel-
19% 62% (-42%)
The polling also found that 64% believe Tory MPs should remove PM through no-confidence vote, while 24% think they should not.

Time for the backbenchers to do the decent thing before his antics get many of them removed at the next GE anyway

TTTs unfailing support for Boris reminds me of fanatical Trump supporters, deaf to any criticism.

I'd be more interested in where the next Labour PM is coming from.

Those odds have changed dramatically thanks to the antics of Boris and the longer the Tories allow him to bring their name into disrepute the more damage he causes them
Also from Sky News :
More poll gloom for PM as Starmer comes out top on leadership
Polling - which, notably, was carried out before the revelations of a bruising day for the prime minister - has provided further evidence that the events of recent weeks have had a considerable impact on how he is perceived by voters.
The graph below indicates the British public believe Keir Starmer outperforms Boris Johnson in all leadership characteristics for which they poll.
On which of the two leaders best embodies the trait "tell the truth", just 14% of respondents said Mr Johnson.
You know things are bad when you go from an 80 seat majority in a GE to lagging massively behind a Labour Party leader with the charisma of a tortoise
Look at the current state of British politics and how BoJo has dragged it there ?

// so what is the purpose of this "question"? - in news?//
now a little bird chirped in my ear that in the good old days of brexit there were up to five Brexit threads posted on AB
every day - and the saner amongst us used to whine, gristle and complain to no effect at all. Next day another five. clones never changed - posts never changed either
so um er that's where he got the idea from

do you?

Obviously
That is why I watched May and other prominent Tories attacking him
Just in case you missed this too :
Tory MP and Michael Gove's PPS resigns over partygate
Another Tory MP we can now count among those in open revolt against the prime minster is now Angela Richardson, who has stepped down from her role as Parliamentary Private Secretary to cabinet minister Michael Gove over the partygate scandal.
While the member for Guildford says she withdrew from the role last week, her timing of her announcement today would appear not to be a coincidence.
Another MP clearly very conscious of the impact of the revelations among the voters who put her in Parliament, she says in her statement: "Any request for a sense of perspective from those around Number Ten rang hollow with the ITU nurse that I spoke to while out knocking doors at the weekend."
As all this is a ‘lefty wet dream’ then maybe you can sum up the mood of rank and file Tories today too ?

Former Scottish Tory leader moved to tears in interview about partygate scandal
The former leader of the Conservatives in Scotland, Ruth Davidson, is a prominent figure in the party who has previously spoken out against Boris Johnson.
An interview she conducted a few minutes ago, however, was striking even by her standards and revealed the depth of feeling attached to the partygate scandal.
A visibly emotional Baroness Davidson appeared to be fighting back tears as she described why she felt so strongly about the matter.
"I am upset," she told Channel 4 News.
"Not just because of stuff myself and others in my close circle of family and friends missed and had to give up but, you know, I was working in the Scottish parliament, I had constituents who lost businesses, I had people that feel guilty that they didn't go to the care home to see their parents, that they didn't hug a friend at a funeral, because the played by the rules.
"And now they look at what happened in Number 10 and they feel like idiots, and they shouldn't be made to feel like that."
Tories in turmoil is how I regard it
BoJo the clown is killing them
